"Building in Jerusalem Is as Natural as Breathing"
(Tablet) Marc Tracy - Aaron David Miller told me that since we are talking about Jerusalem here: "Building in Jerusalem is as natural as breathing." To be fair to Netanyahu: It is nigh impossible to imagine a final deal that does not include some sort of Israeli sovereignty in all of Jerusalem; east Jerusalem was never included in any freeze deal; and even the freeze deal that was reached a year ago has since expired. "Building in Jerusalem was never considered off-limits by either the government of Israel or frankly - with respect to the Obama administration, they basically acquiesced in it," Miller noted.
